About this record
Stamped in the dead wax, the runout 647016 C SNB and 647016 D SNB mark this German Iron Cock Records Ltd. pressing as a live bootleg-style release rather than an official Metallica album. Recorded at St. Georges Hall in Bradford, England, on 26/09/88, it is Part 2 of a gig whose first half circulated as the bootleg Bang A Gong.
Collectors want it 23 times against 69 owners, so clean copies move less often than the want list suggests.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing from 40.44 USD in Mint down to 19.15 USD in VG, with NM at 36.18 USD and VG+ at 27.67 USD; these are estimates as of the guide date. At the time of the snapshot no copies were listed, with lowest_price empty and num_for_sale at 0, so there is no live asking figure to anchor against.
The community record shows 69 owners and 23 wanting one, a steady but modest demand. Because this is an unofficial Limited Edition rather than a standard catalogue release, its value depends on the specific cover and colour variant, and the release notes list six covers and eight vinyl colours, which can shift a sale well outside the guide range.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the exact pressing by reading the dead wax for 647016 C SNB on one side and 647016 D SNB on the other, both of which are listed in the release data. Check the catalogue number 2 and the Iron Cock Records Ltd. label credit against the sleeve and the record.
The first issue was on black vinyl with the Incredible Metallic Hammersmiths labels and a Black/White/Gold cover, so identify the cover colourway and vinyl colour, since the notes name six covers and eight colours. Look for the front-cover line Contains Iron Maiden Tracks, which the release notes describe.
Grade the vinyl and sleeve separately, and compare the surfaces against the reference price tiers rather than relying on general wear checks.
